Kurosawa's Dreams 4K Ultra HD (Includes Blu-ray)

Zavvi

Unfolding in a series of eight mythic vignettes, this late work by Akira Kurosawa was inspired by the beloved director's own night time visions, along with stories from Japanese folklore. In a visually sumptuous journey through the master's imagination, tales of childlike wonder give way to apocalyptic apparitions: a young boy stumbles on a fox wedding in a forest; a soldier confronts the ghosts of the war dead; a power-plant meltdown smothers a seaside landscape in radioactive fumes. Interspersed with reflections on the redemptive power of creation, including a richly textured tribute to Vincent van Gogh (who is played by Martin Scorsese), Akira Kurosawa's Dreams is both a showcase for its maker's artistry at its most unbridled and a deeply personal lament for a world at the mercy of human ignorance.Product Features4K digital restoration, supervised by cinematographer Shoji Ueda, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresAudio commentary featuring film scholar Stephen PrinceFeature-length documentary from 1990 shot on set and directed by Nobuhiko ObayashiInterviews with production manager Teruyo Nogami and assistant director Takashi KoizumiDocumentary from 2011 by director Akira Kurosawa's longtime translator Catherine Cadou, featuring interviews with filmmakers Bernardo Bertolucci, Alejandro G.
